Well, the word-for-word translation to "experience is important" is correct. A rather loose translation could be "experience makes difference". In other words a newer and more modern aircraft does not guarantee victory over an old F-16A, if the latter is flown by an experienced pilot and instructor. Pictures from Top Gun with Skyhawk against Tomcat come to mind So, it makes some sence to me, could be totally wrong of course.

DESERT FALCONS

first time, in nearly 20 years of flying in a TW world, that i've seen the big dipper lower center if you cant see it. between the Vipers wing and tail

problem solved , i just bought the NAVAIR 11-75A-54 LAU-7 Maintenance Manual and there is everything i need

I am afraid that this time I disagree not entirely but with the context that has been given to what the guys are proposing (@allenjb42 and @simonmiller416) , I will explain my reasons; The famous AI let's see it for what it really is, one more simple tool that we can resort to to reduce times or be precise in areas where we cannot be, but in no case will it replace anyone's talent, to see this as a detriment is to make oneself replaceable, like you guys too I hate auto tune, Canva, web design templates, and the invasion of deepfakes on social media, but this "is not the fault of the pig but of the one who feeds it" we are the users who make excessive use of these solutions, I started using graphic applications at the dawn of this century and many things have changed with filters and automations and I will not fall into purism because another guy saves time. "The AI art" does not supplant anything, art itself is an expression that evokes sensations in the spectator, only you know if you are satiated with a hotdog or a crème brulee, technique and talent is part of the pack of the artist that I love, ai is the one that like the boy who makes a living on the street painting similar landscapes with spray and stencils, I will not judge him as an artist but like AI I will say that he has technique and nothing else. Let's go back to the original topic, let's be honest, it has nothing to do to depend on a tool, with the fact of making art in a language pack where we know it is very complex to get someone to do the voices in different languages, it's like judging you for using a translator... hey this same forum has lowered the enthusiasm to those who propose to buy the source code of the game for underestimating costs and now we are going to discourage people who do not have money to pay speakers to do an eternal work.. have you seen the amount of audios the game has? let's consider that repeating “Red Crown” or “bandits at 3” in different accents or languages will not give me a great special talent (maybe learn some language) but I would hardly learn the accent of a language that I don't speak natively... I prefer to leave that to an AI that will not do it brilliantly but much better than oneself... In my opinion, if you can do it, do it cowboy, it's better than waiting for nothing... and what I can contribute is that the ChatGPT mobile app has an advanced voice mode (paid) that imitates the most characteristic accents of the languages, if you must solve zone limitations that surely if you are from china you must know how to solve (sorry Simon, I really don't know if you are from china) XD Greetings!

what does it say on top of this tail? i have done a round with google translate, and it comes back "experience is important" doesnt quite seem right tho, so i figured i's ask in here

my two cents, dont use AI i dont know how it is with audio files at this time. but pure AI images (type in a description and an algorithym produces an image) are currently kinda junky. between the weird FB images posted for likes to a proliferation of images ran through a filter to "clean up the image" which results in something that looks like a water color of the original at best. but the more that it is improved, the more likely that companies will go to it for producing artwork. if theres one thing that should not be lost to automation, its human creativity. time is always a factor in everything, esp. modding. but we have a global community here at CA. lets use any of our non English speaking partners who have the time and are willing to do so make up speech packs. besides, that way we'd also get teh benefit of their local accent on the pack instead of a computer generated speech. it might not sound too different to us native English speakers, but would be very noticable to the Arabic, Spanish, Chinese or whatever other language speakers you are looking for.

I've already thought about this for the ODS 30AE mod, but you'd need to spend money for those AI services that generate audio speech files, I haven't found viable freeware sources, and you'd also need a lot of patience and free time as a single complete speech pack requires more than 1,400 audio files. Do it for several languages, and you'd need to multiply that amount for each language/accent you intend to have. Those services cost money and the ones I had seen do not allow to automatize the creation of several audio files in one go, so they also cost in terms of time. I'll probably consider it at a later time, but that would mean spending my own money and what little free time I get over something that only few Strike Fighters fans would appreciate all for free. EDIT: That being said, it surely is the easiest way we currently have to make a more professional speech pack, but not as easy as I'd like.
